HBS EMAIL, USERNAME & PASSWORD

The Class of 2017 will be the second class in which students may retain their email address and Outlook account after graduation. HBS email address and password do not change upon graduation. You will continue to use the HBS email address as your HBS Username to log into the HBS Alumni Website.

In the past, alumni were issued a LEFA, Lifelong E-mail Forwarding Address, which had a similar pattern as the student account. The LEFA acts as a forwarding address and login account for alumni who graduated prior to May 2016.

On the Alumni Website any references to LEFA login should be considered synonymous with HBS login.

HBS has provided you with a an HBS email address so that you can stay better connected with the School and with your classmates. HBS email addresses are not
intended for purposes of promotion or solicitation.

HBS is capable of determining misuse of HBS email. In the case of misuse, HBS reserves the right to deactivate and/or
terminate a graduate's email account.

The current listserv technology that exists for
each section (i.e. mba2017x@listserv.hbs.edu) will no longer work after June 8.
The Alumni Web site has an online application, the (Email Your Class/Alumni Messaging Service) that allows you to email your section or your class after graduation. You can access this application from the Alumni Web site home page, under Quick Links >> Email Your Class. This same application allows you to send messages to individuals or smaller groups based on search results in the Alumni Directory.
Please note that the Email Your Class application has the same Appropriate Use
restrictions as your HBS email account is not intended for purposes of promotion
or solicitation. Misuse of the Email Your Class application can result in the
deactivation and/or termination of a graduate's email account and login account.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

In the "MBA 2017 IOU" survey you are asked for a non-HBS contact email address. It is a required question. This email address is essential for maintaining a secure HBS account.

If you do not provide HBS with a non-HBS contact email address then your ability to recover a forgotten password will be impeded.

Additionally, without the non-HBS email address alumni will not be able to reach you through the Alumni Messaging tool or HBS Alumni Mobile app. The Alumni Directory no longer shows LEFA (HBS email) addresses to other alumni.

If you forget your HBS password or have difficulty with the HBS Intranet while logged in on your alumni account, please contact the Alumni Information Services office at 617.384.5977. Program Technology Services can only provide support for current MBA students. They do not keep any alumni password records and cannot assist with alumni access problems.
